Just Deserts

I couldn't get through it. It wasn't the story or the difficulty that was the problem, but the interface. This has potential to be a good game, but it's frustrating. 1. The attack animations are unskippable. At a certain point of playing, I just want to resolve the combat. I don't need to watch the enemy attack animation every time. 2. I shouldn't need to click on the enemies every time. If there's one enemy, the game should auto-target. It ends up needing way more mouse movement for every action than should be required and the little things like this add up. 3. Many quests from the girls require multiple of one item. Either purchasing or giving of multiple items is not possible, instead, the game kicks you back out to the main dialog screen and you have to start over again. 4. Some quests are simply impossible like items requested before they're even available for purchase (regardless of the cost). And some quests to train or patrol with a person can't be completed because the person isn't on-duty for that period of time, resulting in an auto-fail. If these things are fixed, I think you could have a great casual game.

带有美式游戏风格的galgame游戏，首先注意这是全年龄游戏。 剧情平淡套路也比较简单，除了战斗外其他部分中规中矩。 最大的缺点就是游戏中令人难以忍受的枯燥又操作及其重复的战斗流程，难以想象制作的时候是怎么想的能让每一步都需要点击才能进行下一步，就比如一个回合，我要经历选择武器-选择攻击-选择目标-点击确定，目前为止还好，接下来到了敌人的环节，先是敌人1行动-鼠标点击一下-敌人实用技能-点击一下-敌人攻击-点击一下-伤害判定-点击一下-敌人2行动-点击一下........，如果你不点击就不会进行接下来的内容，正常回合制不应该敌人的行动都是自动进行的吗？这么多点击是要干嘛？我点不点击和敌人回合的战斗有影响吗？整个战斗期间有90%的时间都是要点击让敌人进行下一步，玩家的回合很快就结束了，敌人战斗极其拖沓，在敌人行动的动画期间（不过就是敌人冒字或者晃动几下表示攻击了，就算是这么简单，动画时间也很长）点击是没有用的，一定要等敌人每一步的动作完全结束后才可以点击进行下一个动作，战斗体验极差 如果你只是被立绘吸引对这个游戏感兴趣的话，不建议入手，糟糕的战斗会极大的破坏你的游戏体验

I really do appreciate it!. Just Desert is a turn-based RPG visual novel with good features added to raise affection to different girls in the camp. You are part of the military and you are called out on the far-out dry desert into a camp for a secret mission. Defending Earth from aliens. Once arrived it showed that we only had female military workers, we would be the only male and we had to build a steady relationship with the girls to successfully complete the different routes and missions. The grind is all but easy and partly also luck-based. The system of grinding affection with girls is varied. We can either go to sports, go to shooting practice, go to swim or even go to a restaurant. We can also buy different foods and items for them, but we need to be careful as girls do not like whatever we gift them, which would downgrade the affection. In order to be able to get a girl's route we need to reach a minimum affection for them within a given time or it would be impossible to trigger the girl's event. This makes it quite challenging especially for those aiming for the harem route. My own overall conclusion is: Just Desert offers both a good story and a challenging grind. Enemies becoming steadily stronger makes it also worthwhile to play through. All girls are fully voiced in English. The con side for me was the grinding with getting the needed money and the time investment needed for it. I found the patrolling part (necessary to be able to buy upgrades and gifts) boring as it ended up monotonous even while having a steady rise in difficulty. Besides this, we were very limited in possibilities, which led to it that quite a few requests to complete from a girl are not completable, because we simply lack the opportunities to complete them which then again downgrades the girl's affection for you a good bit. Other than that I did like the story and theme. So I can recommend it further, but some people might get like me, bored with the patrolling parts.

Wow this is awful. The main game is earning cash by killing aliens and then blowing it all on gluttonous girls so you can buy their love. The turn based combat is some of the worst out there. You hardly do any damage, but take tons in return. They shield and heal constantly. You have limited weapons each fight, but they're useless anyway. To raise your love meter with girls, you need to gain experience by doing stuff with them or buying them gifts. But the amount of experience you gain is so minimal, it doesn't feel rewarding at all to complete quests. It's like if you're playing an rpg with a high level character and go back to one of the first areas and farm enemies for practically no experience. Some of these quests have you kill a certain class of enemy, and I swear when you accept those quests, their spawn rate drops to the single digit percentile. Other quests have you do activities with girls, but they can only be performed when they are in very specific areas (the girls move around every few in-game-hours.) You've got limited time to complete the quests, so it's a gamble if they'll be there enough for you to complete them. Actually I can't really say its a gamble because that implies you'll have a slight chance of completing them. But in actuality you have zero chance. You could win the mega millions three times before having a girl sit at a restaurant long enough to have 5 meals with her in three days. The game requires you to spend a ton of money, and you'll never have enough to do what you want to, as everything is absurdly overpriced. There's a lot of bugs. I've had quests not work. I've had quests start as one thing, and then change requirements midway through. The amount of clicking to do anything is absurd. Want to buy 5 popcorn for some girl? You have to buy them one at a time, then when giving them to the girl you have to click "talk to 'so and so,' give, click item, click yes." repeat 5 times. You can save at anytime, (which also bugs out from time to time, saving in whatever slot it feels like occasionally,) so the only way to beat some quests or manage your time optimally is to reload over and over. I reload so often it crashes the game. It's not fun. But there was something driving me to play it. I couldn't tell you what it is though. I got all the girls to fall in love with me in one game, but never maxed out anyone, partially in part because the game says you have 30 days to complete everything. Silly me, that means at the end of day 29 its over. And without any warning or anything, you're thrown into the final boss... and he's impossible. Like, I don't know how anyone can beat him. It ripped through my health like nothing, my attacks did so little damage I didn't even notice his health bar go down, and that was using the strongest weapon in the game. And at any time it heals, so he won't be dying...ever. You could buy restorative items to help, but there's a good chance a player could have no money to buy any, being caught completely unaware of such an insurmountable opponent. And it doesn't matter anyway. He went through my health in two hits, 3 with armor equipped. It wouldn't be enough to whittle his health down that he would just restore to full. It's truly a bad game. I regret losing those 10 hours. Seriously...I'm really upset about it.

Though Japanese VNs and dating sims are far way better than this one, you can still find something special about this game. Sure the story is not that amazing, nor it is bad of course. It's easy to follow and not that complicated, perfect for something for you to play while taking a break from your serious, hardcore games with complex story and plenty of time playing. The VAs and background musics are surprisingly great despite its not-that-amazing story with typical harem protagonist and stiff game mechanics. Yeah, the game mechanics are kinda stiff. There is no feature to buy or sell items more than one. You wanna sell 10 iron chunks? Select the item, hit the sell button and then confirm with 'Yes' button. Do that 10 times in a row. That's it I guess, thanks for reading my review~

This game is just too repetitive. There are some genuinely interesting plot threads if you stick it out, and each one of the love interests has some serious drama in their closet if you get close enough. But getting close is a matter of repetitive tasks to boost stats, including having generic conversations and giving presents. Even the combat is boring.

This game would be okay if it wasnt in such a broken state. Devs were active in the forum last year, saying theyd be working on it. the same issues are still as present. Its impssible to 100% as of right now. I had their next game on my wishlist and you can bet i will no longer be getting it, even if i was initally fully on board to support them. I really wish Devs would simply care enough to make sure the audience they built is not leaving frustrated and disapointed. Like the game might have been allright, not the best but maybe just enjoable enough for the time you spend in it. But its not and while some things can be forgiven, others are a total dealbreaker. you really dont expect something like a visual novel to fail on a technical level lmao
